Carolina Cappelli is an Italian performer, filmmaker and artistic gymnastic teacher. Her research involves the hybridization of workshop formats, writing and performative/cinematographic practices. Strongly connected to re-enactment as a primary tool of investigation, she often works between fiction and reality, dealing with the concept of presentation and representation. Her works are context-based, dealing with breaking expectations, failure and the need to blur the category of the spectator. At the moment, she’s investigating the construction of the role of women both as characters and spectators in Horror movies. For the exhibition Dirty Care she collaborates with Michele Petrosino, a performance artist based in Bologna. In recent years they have collaborated as performers with artists and collectives such as Bruce Nauman, Nico Vascellari, Societas, Kinkaleri. From 2022 they collaborate on interdisciplinary projects curating the creative process with a focus on participatory and workshop activities. In 2023 STILL presents at Fumi della Fornace together with Gaetano Palermo and is subsequently awarded the CosmoGiani prize.
